Can you post the MD5sum? Here is an example (using a different ISO file).
You can do this in Terminal.
openssl md5 Win10_1909_EnglishInternational_x64.iso
MD5(Win10_1909_EnglishInternational_x64.iso)= d1f08aea37586702f6fbe2fe3ea8c3fd
Obtain official Microsoft images, untouched.
You could use the Microsoft tool for this, or a website like this: https://tb.rg-adguard.net/public.php
You can verify yourself that all images are downloaded straight from Microsoft.
No joy yet. The file came from Microsoft.com. I tried the https://tb.rg-adguard.net/public.php website mentioned below, but that provided the same file, which is named Win10_20H2_v2_English_x64.iso. What did you mean when you referred to the "Microsoft tool?"

Did you drag & drop the Windows .iso file onto the Terminal window so it auto-fills the correct path to the .iso file?
That did the trick! I sure appreciate you hanging with me. I had to download another copy of the Windows 10 file to my Downloads folder, but after that the installation went fine. However, I also had to purchase another copy of Microsoft (Office) 365 for Windows, and now my sound in Windows doesn't work . Indeed, the system tells me I have to purchase Windows 10. Jeeeeeezzz!!
Where did you obtain the W10 ISO from? What is the name and MD5sum of the ISO?
Did you check if your file is at least exactly 6221846528 bytes?
I have worked with the same on Big Sure 11.1 and it is recognised.
Yes, it is exactly that size. Is there some setting or something else on my hard drive that is causing a problem?

You are not in the correct folder containing the ISO. This is what you should get.
openssl md5 Win10_20H2_v2_English_x64.iso
MD5(Win10_20H2_v2_English_x64.iso)= 10d50d88fac6306a00ddb41e983a046b
Thanks for your patience, but I don't understand. The downloaded iso file is in the Downloads folder. That's where Microsoft put it. In what folder should the file be?
Can you post a screen shot the of file in Downloads? If the file has a .downloads extension, then the download failed or is partially complete.
You should not need another license of Windows 10. The Audio issue is unrelated to your Office 365 issues.
